Battlefield 1943 has broken the record for the fastest-selling “day one” and “week one” download-only game for both XBL and PSN. The game has sold over 600,00o copies since July 8th.

“We are honoured by the reception that the game has received so far,” says Gordon Van Dyke, Producer on Battlefield 1943. “Watching and participating in this non-stop multiplayer action has been a real treat for us and we can’t believe how fast our fans reached 43 million kills. We can now truly say that we have set a new standard for what can be done in the downloadable games category and gamers recognize the endless value that Battlefield 1943 provides for just $15.”

Battlefield 1943 is also aspiring to hold the most specific video games record, previously held by Peggle, which was the game-most-played-within-5-minutes-of-eating-a-spicy-chicken-sandwich-from- Wendy’s-while-wearing-a-pirate-costume-and-listening-to-Amy-Winehouse-on-April-23rd, 2009.
